Building on the Accra Call to Action, the two countries hope to offer global leadership on that crucial matter (illicit drugs) which is destroying young lives, undermining public health, damaging the rule of law and terribly affecting human rights.

The move by the two countries strengthen confidence, genuine and reliable international collaboration in eliminating drug markets flooding the countries with cocaine, synthetics and criminal money.
